Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Unfold the puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface and use a sharp knife to cut it into 4 equal squares.
3. In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
4. Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each puff pastry square. Spread the mixture out slightly, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
5. Add a dollop of raspberry jam on top of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each square.
6. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the edges of the puff pastry squares with the beaten egg and water mixture.
7. Gently fold the corners of each square towards the center, covering the cream cheese and raspberry jam filling.
8. Brush the tops of the pastry with the egg wash.
9. Bake the Raspberry Cream Cheese Danish for 15-18 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
